No to Executions Tuesdays \u2013 Week 52<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

On January 21, 2025, prisoners across Iran commemorated the 52nd consecutive week of the \u201cNo to Executions Tuesdays\u201d<\/a> campaign. This coordinated protest movement, initiated by political prisoners, opposes the Iranian regime\u2019s widespread use of the death penalty. Since its launch in early 2024, the campaign has grown to include weekly hunger strikes and statements condemning executions, aiming to raise awareness and garner support both nationally and internationally. Now spanning 34 prisons across the country, the campaign recently welcomed the men\u2019s ward of Adelabad Prison in Shiraz on the eve of its first anniversary.<\/p>\n

In their statement<\/a>, prisoners highlighted that over 110 individuals were executed during the Persian month of Dey (December 21\u2013January 20). Since the Persian calendar year 1403 began in March 2024, more than 950 people have been hanged. The statement described these statistics as \u201can unprecedented surge in executions used to suppress society.\u201d<\/p>\n

The statement also drew attention to the case of Malek Davarshenas (Mousavi), a 26-year-old political prisoner from Khorramshahr, who faces an imminent execution sentence on charges of rebellion.<\/p>\n

Growing Support for the Campaign<\/h3>\n

The \u201cNo to Executions Tuesdays\u201d campaign has gained significant support within Iran and beyond its borders. Notably, 11 teachers\u2019 unions from various provinces have publicly endorsed the movement, despite intimidation from the regime\u2019s security forces.<\/p>\n

Prisoners\u2019 statements emphasized that the Iranian people\u2019s joy over the punishment of officials like Mohammad Moghiseh and Ali Razini<\/a> highlights widespread public disdain for the death penalty. \u201cThe Iranian people\u2019s aversion to executions reflects decades of resistance to the regime\u2019s policies of repression and bloodshed,\u201d the statement noted.<\/p>\n

Urging solidarity, the prisoners added: \u201cWe call on all prisoners across the nation to join the \u2018No to Executions Tuesdays\u2019 campaign and unite our voices to defend the right to life for those facing execution.\u201d<\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s Execution Policy: A Tool for Survival<\/h3>\n

According<\/a> to the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), at least 1,000 executions were carried out in 2024\u2014the highest number in three decades. These alarming figures underscore the regime\u2019s reliance on executions as a means of suppressing dissent.<\/p>\n

The regime uses executions not only to intimidate but also to maintain its grip on power amid fears of being overthrown. However, the brutal and frequent use of capital punishment has only fueled public anger and bolstered organized resistance. Iranian society has largely overcome the fear of execution, with increasing defiance in the face of such repression.<\/p>\n

Once boasting influence in the Middle East, the regime now finds itself battling for survival within its own borders, as public resistance intensifies both in the streets and behind prison walls.<\/p>\n

How the Campaign Began<\/h3>\n

The \u201cNo to Executions Tuesdays\u201d campaign was born on January 30, 2024, when ten political prisoners in Ghezel Hesar Prison launched a hunger strike. Accompanied by a statement, they called on the public and the international community to take a stand against the regime\u2019s execution policies.<\/p>\n

One week later, women in Evin Prison\u2019s female ward joined the initiative with their own hunger strike, adding momentum to the movement. Choosing Tuesdays as the day of protest carried symbolic weight\u2014this is often the final day for prisoners transferred to solitary confinement before execution.<\/p>\n

Support from other prisons quickly followed, and by the campaign\u2019s first anniversary, 34 prisons nationwide had joined. Participating facilities include:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Evin Prison<\/strong> (women\u2019s ward, wards 4 and 8)<\/li>\n
  • Ghezel Hesar Prison<\/strong> (units 3 and 4)<\/li>\n
  • Karaj Central Prison<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Greater Tehran Prison<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • And many more across cities like Shiraz, Ahvaz, Mashhad, and Tabriz.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    This growing participation underscores the unity and resilience of political prisoners in opposing the regime\u2019s violent policies.<\/p>\n

    A Movement Beyond Prison Walls<\/h3>\n

    The \u201cNo to Executions Tuesdays\u201d campaign has extended beyond prison walls, resonating with Iranian society and the families of political prisoners. Human rights activists, families of executed prisoners, and professional organizations such as the Coordinating Council of Teachers\u2019 Associations have expressed solidarity.<\/p>\n

    These endorsements have transformed the campaign from a prison-based protest into a broad social movement with national and international reach.<\/p>\n

    First Anniversary and Continued Resistance<\/h3>\n

    Marking its first anniversary, the campaign remains a powerful symbol of resistance. It has unified political and non-political prisoners in a collective effort to challenge the regime. Female prisoners have played a pivotal role, leading protests and sit-ins to demonstrate their determination in the face of repression.<\/p>\n

    Every week, prisoners issue statements honoring resistance martyrs and reaffirming their right to oppose executions. This persistent activism sends a clear message: the Iranian regime\u2019s repressive tactics cannot silence the growing demand for justice and freedom.<\/p>\n

    Historical and International Dimensions<\/h3>\n

    The participation of 1980s political prisoners and families of execution victims has added emotional depth and historical context to the campaign. Their statements recall the mass executions of that era, drawing connections between past atrocities and current struggles.<\/p>\n

    Globally, organizations like Amnesty International have praised the campaign and condemned Iran\u2019s execution practices. They have called for international action to hold Iranian officials accountable for crimes against humanity.<\/p>\n

    The Path Forward<\/h3>\n

    The \u201cNo to Executions Tuesdays\u201d campaign continues to grow, proving that even in the face of grave oppression, collective resistance is possible. By choosing Tuesdays\u2014a day laden with tragic significance\u2014the movement keeps the human cost of executions at the forefront of public consciousness.<\/p>\n

    Built on solidarity and a call to global conscience, the campaign holds the potential to drive meaningful change. It connects with the broader struggle for freedom in Iran, embodying the spirit of a people determined to overcome tyranny and reclaim their rights.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
